The Australian also reported that sources within the facility were concerned over the delivery of the life-ending dosages and have said that Lottie was in "good physical health and had not been formally prepared for a pathway to end life".

The senior nurse acted suspiciously after the death and subsequent funeral which raised alarm bells.

"It looks so creepy — it is very strange,” a source told the Australian. “She looked cheerful and happy, and then she leant on and hugged the coffin as it was going into the hearse. People who saw it were stunned … saying ‘What the?’".
